Let’s comment on the 2018 Mets Players Weekend Nicknames, shall we?

MetsTyler Bashlor: “BASH” – makes senseJose Bautista: “JOEYBATS” – well of courseJerry Blevins: “JER-RY JER-RY JER-RY” is trying too hardJay Bruce: “BRUUUCE” – perfectYoenis Cespedes: “LA POTENCIA” – I guess. This never really stuck but OK fineMichael Conforto: “SCOOTER” – I guess his teammates call him that? I associate it once and forever with RizzutoTravis d’Arnaud: “LIL d” – kinda funny until you realize you put it on your jersey and there may an entendre you didn’t want. Or maybe you did. This one is bad.Jacob deGrom: “deGROM” – I love you. Perfect.Phillip Evans: “BARREL” – what? No. You’re lucky you even have a jersey. EVANS.Wilmer Flores: “CATIRE” – huh? Googles CATIRE SPANISH. Learns it could mean blonde or fairskinned. Look if I have to spend this much time on it it’s a bad nickname.

Jose Reyes: “LA MELAZA” – Jose has been pushing this for 16 years. Does ANYONE call him this ever? Too bad Montero grabbed IMMORTAL. You should troll everyone and do JOSE WILPON or UNCUTTABLE or something. Oh wait….duh….dude….lean into it and do…..THE VIRUS. Come on man, do it.
